Edition of 250 copies, signed on the title page by the architect and with a loose, original and signed drawing on ricepaper by Tadao Ando, kept in a folder which is glued to the inside of the cover.
Our copy is in very good condition (two small spots on the linen box).

An exquisite work of art in its own right, it is the result of ten years’ collaboration between the English photographer Richard Pare and the internationally renowned architect Tadao Ando.

A deliberate change of paper stock is used to marry context and content: high quality, semi-matt paper for the plate section echoes the photographic paper used by Pare; Japanese style hand-made papers provide an appropriate backdrop for Ando’s drawings, and a grey uncoated, textured stock is the fitting medium chosen for the technical section at the back of the book.
